DisparateDan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My Time Deposit is with HSBC, and when it matures the interest rate will be 0.4% pa. (3.5% fixed for last 3 years) I see many signs at Thai Banks offering higher and different rates..from 1.5 to 2.25% pa I have tried to get the details, everything is in Thai, well it is Thailand, and the staff can't help any more than a Thai brochure Any suggestions please. ? Please don''t tell me to learn Thai..I'm English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderpuff Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think you can get 2,25% for one million baht & over locked in for one year. Bangkok Bank. They speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some immigration offices will allow and some will not. I have just over the 800,000 in a Bangkok Bank time deposit. The interest goes up annually for three years. If I take money out of the acc during that period of time, the Interest just reverts back to the first year. I forget the details now, but we are not talking life changing amounts. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelius Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 BKK Bank are advertising a tiered deposit rate on their main home page (in English) for 15 months - highest rate paid is 4.5%, average is 2.5%. There is a link to leave your contact details. Don't know if its the best rate in town or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
